According to the Telegraph, Chelsea veterans Pedro and Willian have extended their contract until the end of the season.
This will come as a massive boost for Frank Lampard as he aims to secure Champions League football for next season.
With just about a week to go before their contract expiry, the duo put it off until today’s deadline to pen their short-term extensions.
It was earlier revealed that Pedro was reluctant to play after he agreed to join Roma in the summer. Thankfully, lengthy talks with head coach Frank Lampard and director Marina Granovskaia appear to have changed the duo’s minds.
The Blues are currently five points clear of fifth place. With a number of challenging fixtures to come, we cannot afford to slack off and fall prey to overconfidence.
Having seasoned campaigners such as Pedro and Willian in the ranks will help see us through the finish line. The duo will also eventually leave with the goodwill of fans, who will appreciate their contribution to the club.
